BarbwireDigi's Guide to Creating a Digital Genealogy Scrapbook Paperback – November 24, 2014

Provides directions on creating digital scrapbook using Photoshop Elements and commercially available templates and enhancements. Not bad, if that's what you want to do. It did not fit my immediate needs. And, it's a little pricey for only 70 pages.

Good basic information

After hearing Barb speak at the RootsTech conference, I was inspired to scrapbook a family story I had been wanting to write for years. With the help of her digital scrapbooking guide, I have completed 45 pages of a 10 x 10 book about one of my ancestors. The process was easy (I didn't even know how to use Photoshop Elements 11) and fun. I work on the book every day and am hoping to be finished in about a week. Her ideas about scrapbooking genealogy are unique and gave me the needed push to get going on this project. Her instructions are clear and easy to understand. And she is available if you run into problems!

This was my favorite purchase from the 4 day Roots Tech Genealogy Conference in February 2014. Barb's class was my favorite as well. I have taken a number of Photoshop Elements Classes, and am still struggling to have it laid out easy and quick for me, and this does that. Also, this is the first time I have seen digital scrap booking from a researchers point of view. Barb shows how to attractively display your record findings and pictures in a beautiful photo book or scrapbook.

I attended Barb's class at the RootsTech conference and the digital scrapbooking bug bit. I ordered her Guide and am working my way through it (with life getting in the way!). The instructions are clear. She has responded to emails with questions very quickly. I'm looking forward to continuing to use her guide, and probably reusing again and again.
